Tina relaxed in bed, her knees apart, her breathing so slow and even that her chest rose and fell to show its rhythm.

"Bette?"

"Mmm" was the response she heard, but Tina was in a curious mood. She wanted something she’d been afraid to ask before, and for some reason, it seemed like the perfect time.

"Umm … Bette?"

She met her wife’s brown eyes as she craned her neck to look down her own body, suddenly wondering if it was such a perfect time after all. Bette had been going down on her after Tina had done the same, and Tina feared that she would offend her beautiful wife. Maybe Bette would be confused with the introduction of something a little different.

With the time Tina took to think, Bette became concerned. She crawled up Tina’s body to look down at her wife’s puzzles face. "T? … What’s wrong, baby? Are you okay?"

Tina shifted her head on the pillow, making her decision as she wondered what it was that she really wanted.

"I’m sorry, I got carried away," she said with only the hint of a smile that spoke to her desperation to taste her wife. She was often lost in the act. "Really. Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Tina smiled shyly, licking her lips because she’d dried them by breathing so heavily before. "It was so amazing – I’m sorry I said anything. Please … really, don’t stop. Please hunny."

Bette loved the position that Tina held her in – laying comfortably between her wife’s legs – but she knew that something was wrong. "Can you tell me?" She knew she hadn’t hurt Tina. She’d only been using her tongue and her lips, kissing and licking her. "I’m worried when I see that look."

"What look?" Tina whined, trying to squirm so Bette couldn’t see her smile, but she was much weaker.

Often times, Bette would let her sneak away, but she was interested with Tina’s reactions, so she kept her pinned there. She felt so close to Tina like that – like she could have everything, and Tina would give it to her willingly. She smiled down at her wife. "I love you, T." With patience and tenderness, she reached down and kissed Tina, lingering there before she pulled back up. "Do you want … something different?"
